This will come as welcome news to the many thousands of passionate ‘grid-iron’ fans who descend on the UK capital city in October and November, to watch the games; especially as in previous years, The Jags have been one of the league’s weaker sides.

One of the biggest stories of draft night was that of defensive tackle, Laremy Tunsil.

He was possibly the best overall player in the draft; but, ten minutes before it was due to start, his Twitter account was hacked and a video appeared of him smoking marijuana.

Teams were immediately put off selecting him but eventually Miami Dolphins picked him at No. 13, ten places later than expected.

This social media mishap cost him both professional credibility and a sizeable amount of money; post-draft, he apologised for his mistake.

American Football is by no means a new craze in Britain, but its popularity has certainly grown in recent years, with teams such as the Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars playing at Wembley.

In fact the Jaguars are rumoured to be moving their side to London, specifically to Tottenham Hotspur’s new ground, in a couple of years’ time.
